Ye Heng arrived at Wangjiazhuang at midnight and ordered the gates to be opened. A row of carriages pulled into the courtyard. The carriages behind could not enter, so they parked outside. Each horse's hoof was wrapped in cloth, making the steps silent. Chai Zhen got up, the little kid was very clever, not sleepy at all. Watching everyone carry out boxes of silver and load them into the carriages, Chai Zhen took out some ropes and gave them to Ye Heng. Ye Heng nodded. Chai Zhen: "Are the people reliable?" Ye Heng: "Second uncle, don't worry, they are all my people. Fifty carriages have come. If we can't carry it all in one trip, we will make two trips tonight and come back tomorrow night. Pay my brother and bring the food to my house." Chai Zhen: "I don't care about that. You decide." Ye Heng smiled: "Yes. I won't give it to the Ministry of Revenue anymore. If there is a shortage of food, I will deliver it directly to the place, but I won't use their manpower." Chai Zhen: "That's right. But the head of the Ministry of Revenue should also be a good official who cares about the people." Ye Heng said: "Second uncle, I understand. The current Minister of Revenue is okay. I will regularly inspect the work of each department. You have to pay attention to the thoughts and dynamics of the personnel in each department. Thank you, Second Uncle, for reminding me. "Chai Zhen: "I don't understand. I just think that I should be a good official." ...

Li Biao, half asleep, woke up when he heard the noise and called his men to help load the truck. Little Naibao went back to his room to steam steamed buns. He called the men in black to help, lighting a large pot over a high fire to boil the pig's head, trotters, liver, and lungs. Little Naibao took out the seasonings and added them to the pot. There were plenty of people watching the fire. Guoguo ordered, "Go knead the dough and steam the large white buns." "Yes, master." The men in black lived comfortably here. They had learned how to do everything. Little Naibao: "I'll steam some vegetarian egg buns. Go to the fields and harvest the chives." The men in black ran off to harvest the chives. The mountain was filled with eggs. Little Naibao saw the baskets and the eggs were plentiful. "Ah, too much of anything is not a good thing?" Little Naibao worried about the abundance of eggs.

There were chickens and pigs aplenty, and the animals on the mountain were breeding rapidly. The tigers had given birth to scores of pups, all vying for the eggs. At least the spiritual spring water was available, and the eggs were plentiful. The carnivores were practically becoming herbivores. The dog saw Guoguo and rode down the mountain on a tiger. No one was afraid of the tiger here, as if it were just a small animal. Little Milk Bag: "Maomao, don't you miss your mother?" Maomao twisted her face. "Hmph, you don't even come to see me." Little Milk Bag: "Then let's go out and play tomorrow!" Maomao's eyes lit up. "Okay." Little Milk Bag: "Go back to the house and get some sleep." Maomao: "Okay." Maomao, behaving well, went back to the house to sleep. The big tiger watched his playmates leave, then lowered his head to look at Guoguo and whined. Little Milk Bag: "Let's go back to the mountain." Little Milk Bag fished out a pig's head and tossed it to the tiger. "Go back." The tiger, clutching the pig's head, smelled delicious, and drooled as she ran up the mountain to feed her cubs. Seeing that this wasn't enough for them, Little Milk Bag said, "One, two, three, let's go to the mountain and catch two pigs and kill them for the meat." "Okay, master." Who was the man in black? A special forces soldier! With swift, fierce, and precise movements, he finished the job in a moment. The head was the head, the trotters were the trotters, and the face was the face. They washed everything clean, put it in the big pot, and braised it. Little Milk Bag had the man in black bring two and a half fan-shaped pieces of meat to the mountain and give them to Tiger.

An hour later, baskets of steamed buns and dumplings were ready, and the little milk buns were taken outside. There was plenty of spiritual spring water to drink. This was their second trip. After the cart was loaded and tied up, Chai Zhen said, "Come and quench your thirst." He cooled the water. "There are steamed buns and dumplings. Eat until you're full before you go." Ye Heng said, "Let's eat." Everyone drank enough water before eating the dumplings. "Vegetarian dumplings are delicious, too." "Yes, yes." Ye Heng also drank water and ate two dumplings. "They are indeed delicious." He took two more. "It's time to go. Take them for the journey." The group took several dumplings, loaded them, returned to the cart, and drove off. Li Biaotou and the others packed up their things, moved into the house, and went back to rest. Chai Zhen and Guoguo went to sleep in the space. The door was locked from the inside.

Inside the palace, chests of silver were delivered to the emperor's private vault. Steward Ma personally oversaw the silver being placed inside and locked. He kept the key in his inner pocket. Returning to the emperor's chambers, Steward Ma said, "We've filled half the treasury. The Regent said there's more tomorrow." The emperor, sitting on his bed with a smile on his face, said, "Okay, don't tell anyone we're rich." Steward Ma said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I won't tell anyone." The emperor said, "The doctor from Taohua Village is quite capable. He cured my poison in just a few days, even the imperial physicians couldn't. I feel better, though a little weak." Steward Ma said, "Yes, there are always people who can help you." The emperor's mood improved, his health improved with his wealth, and the food and water he ate made him feel comfortable and strong. Steward Ma said, "Your Majesty, please sleep a little longer. I'll stay with you." "Okay, I'll sleep a little longer." Steward Ma tucked the emperor in with a blanket and sat at the palace gate, watching his surroundings, keeping a close eye on everything. Although he knew that there were secret guards, he was still worried.

Ye Heng returned to the palace, took a bath and went to bed.

At daybreak in Wangjiazhuang, the owner banged on a basin and shouted, "Anyone with a sick family, the doctor is here! Come and see him." ...

The owner's wife cooked and called a few other women to help with the cooking and laundry. ...

Little Milk Bag and Chai Zhen had their meal in the space. They went out in the middle of the morning and walked around the fields. Little Milk Bag: "Grandpa, the fields are short of fertilizer and water. Little Milk Bag asked the robot to scan the area within a hundred miles to see if there are any rivers or lakes?" A few minutes later, "Master, there is water. There is a river to the west, and the water is very large. There is a sea not far to the south!" Little Milk Bag: "There is a sea? How big is it?" "A vast expanse of blue water." "Is it that big?" "Let's go swimming in the sea." "Grandpa, let's go to the south and take a look."

Chai Zhen: "All right." Chai Zhen picked up Guoguo and headed south. Too slow. Little Milk Bag lifted the robot out. The robot extended its arms, and Chai Zhen sat on it, hugging Guoguo's neck with one hand. The robot took off, covering nearly a hundred miles in a quarter of an hour. When they reached the coast, the vast expanse stretched out before them. Little Milk Bag and Chai Zhen got down to their feet. Little Milk Bag consciously moved the large boat out, and the two climbed aboard. The robot took the helm, while Chai Zhen and Guoguo stood on the deck, holding onto the boat's handles. A gentle breeze blew, and Little Milk Bag laughed heartily, saying, "Grandpa, it's nice to live on the sea!" Chai Zhen: "Well, if there weren't wars, we could go wherever we wanted." Little Milk Bag: "Grandpa, if you want to enjoy your old age, that's fine too." Chai Zhen: "When my Guoguo grows up, Grandpa will enjoy life." Little Milk Bag, knowing Grandpa was tired, asked Chai Zhen to sit down, took out the kettle, and offered Grandpa a drink. Chai Zhen sat down, picked up Guoguo, and offered her the water, enjoying the stolen time. Looking at the boundless sea, Little Milk Bag asked, "Grandpa, what kind of sea is this?" Chai Zhen said, "Grandpa, I don't know either."

Little Milk Bag asked the robot, "Xiao Shunzi, do you know what sea this is?" Little Shunzi said, "It's like China's East China Sea. There are four great seas in the Great Yan Kingdom, and this is one of them." Little Milk Bag understood and said, "Grandpa, this is the Great Yan Kingdom's sea. On the Great Yan Kingdom's territory, there are four great seas, and this is one of them. It should be a sea called the East China Sea. The sea in Guoguo's space is Penglai Fairy Island, which is the Yellow Sea." ...

The boat sailed on the sea until dark, with no end in sight. Little Milk Bag asked, "Grandpa, do you want to go further?" Chai Zhen said, "There's no way this boat will end. We don't know where it will lead to. Let's go back. Guoguo wants to see the sea, so we can come back another day." Little Milk Bag said, "Alright. Xiao Shunzi, drive back as fast as you can!"

"Yes, Master."

At midnight, the big ship returned to its original shore. Chai Zhen picked up Guoguo and walked ashore, while Little Milk Bag put the big ship back into space.

Guoguo held the night-shining pearl, and Chai Zhen carried her home. The country road was quiet. Only the croaking of frogs by the water and the murmuring of insects in the fields could be heard. A beautiful pastoral scene under a moonlit night. Guoguo looked at the crops; they were growing well. Little Milk Bag secretly sprinkled spiritual spring water along the way, like a gentle rain.

In the manor, Qiuju and Dongshuang were standing at the gate, holding a lantern, waiting for their master to return. From a distance, they saw a patch of white light. Qiuju said to Dongshuang, "It's time for our master to come back. Go home and heat up the food. I'll wait here." "Okay."

Chai Zhen and Guoguo saw the maid standing at the gate and said, "We're back. Let's go home and lock the gate." Qiuju: "Yes, Miss. Qiuju was so worried." Little Milk Boy: "Haha, Sister Qiuju, it's okay. Look, Li Biaotou and those brothers all know it's okay. Let's go back." Little Milk Boy took Qiuju's hand. Qiuju: "You're too young. Master, we're worried about you alone!" Chai Zhen: "It's okay." Chai Zhen picked up Guoguo and carried her back to the house. In the living room, the meal was already on the table. There was also water for washing hands in the house. They washed their hands and ate.

"You guys go back to your room and rest. We'll clean up here tomorrow." Qiuju: "Okay. I'll be back right away." The two of them turned around and went out.
